-/* The 'fmt' extension is modeled on the posix printf system.
- *
- * A posix conversion ostensibly looks like this:
- *
- * %[parameter][flags][width][.precision][length]type
- *
- * Given the different numeric type bestiary we have, we omit the 'length'
- * parameter and support slightly different conversions for 'type':
- *
- * %[parameter][flags][width][.precision]type
- *
- * we also only support translating-to-rust a tiny subset of the possible
- * combinations at the moment.
+/*
+ * The compiler code necessary to support the #fmt extension. Eventually this
+ * should all get sucked into either the standard library ExtFmt module or the
+ * compiler syntax extension plugin interface.
